Description

Method, device and system for measuring,

Judging and simulating a shoe

The invention relates to a method for measuring and assessing the functions and shape of a shoe, in particular a sports shoe such as a running or ski boot. The invention also relates to a method for generating data for the

Production of a shoe individually adapted to a person. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for simulating a shoe, which is useful for generating data for the production of shoes. In addition, the concerns

Invention a shoe simulation device comprising the system and by means of which the method is feasible.

It is known to arrange pressure sensors within a shoe in order to detect the different pressures generated by the sole of the foot. Here, the pressure sensors are located either in the top of the shoe bottom or in one

Insole. In order to obtain the desired measured values, it is necessary to provide shoes or shoe inserts with sensors. This is not only costly to manufacture, but also changes the shape and dimensions of the shoe so that usable measurement results are difficult to achieve.

In the manufacture of shoes increasingly methods are used, which allow individual components of the shoes individually adapted to a person and thus to improve the fit of the resulting shoes.

In particular, molded parts can be designed accurately by 3D printing techniques.

BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE It is known to customize certain parts of shoes based on measurements individually to a person's needs. For example, DE 102016 009 980 A1 discloses a foam-molded part, in particular the shoe bottom of a sports shoe, to be adapted to a person by measuring a pressure distribution of at least one person's foot by means of a pressure measuring plate and based on the determined pressure distribution

Material properties of the foam material are spatially adjusted.

In the manufacture of parts based solely on readings, the person first has the opportunity to learn how the shoe feels when it has already been made. In particular, the person has no direct influence on the final product. As a result, there may be occurrences that the person is not satisfied with the manufactured shoe because it is different from the desire of the person.

Object of the present invention is to provide a simple and practical method and system available that can be used in a shop and it allows to generate data on the basis of which a shoe is produced, which corresponds to the wishes of the person.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a method for measuring and assessing the functions and shape of a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, by which measured values of shoes, in particular sports shoes, are achieved without having to change the shoes / sports shoes.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the user of the shoe stands on a measuring surface with the foot-clad shoe and / or walks or runs over a measuring surface which has a multiplicity of pressure sensors whose recorded pressure values are evaluated by a computer program.

After the recorded pressure values, the shape, the dimensions and / or the materials of the shoe bottom are determined. Furthermore, the shape and dimensions of the shoe upper can be determined according to the recorded pressure values.

This allows each shoe to be measured, assessed and optimally made without having to provide it with sensors. The following properties can be recognized and taken into account with every shoe type:

Does the shoe fit the shape of the foot?

Does the shoe suit the individual movement of the user?

Does the user go / run incorrectly?

Which shape and dimensions should the shoe bottom have, in particular its tread and / or its upper side?

Which mechanical properties should the shoe bottom and / or the shoe upper have?

Which materials should be used for the shoe bottom and / or shoe upper?

What is the wear behavior of the shoe?

The method according to the invention further comprises the following steps;

a measuring step in which a pressure distribution of at least one foot sole of the person is measured by means of a pressure distribution measuring device on a measuring surface,

a setting step in which a shoe simulation device incorporating a

Shoe bottom having a plurality of support portions whose height and / or at least one mechanical property are each individually controllable, is set locally by the height and / or the at least one mechanical property of the support sections are respectively set to values based on the measured Pressure distribution can be determined by a computer unit, and

- A simulation step in which the person loads the shoe simulation device to perceive the properties of a shoe having the set values. In the measuring step, the pressure distribution of the sole of the person is first determined by means of a pressure distribution measuring device, wherein the pressure distribution static, ie standing, or dynamic, ie walking or running, can be measured. Based on the specific pressure distribution is then the

Shoe simulation device set. To perceive the properties of a shoe having the adjusted characteristics, the person uses the shoe simulation device by loading the shoe bottom or the shoe insert. The load on the shoe simulation device may be static, i. standing, or dynamic, i. going or running, done. With the help of

Shoe simulation device takes the person the shoe bottom with the

Real features that a shoe has after manufacturing. Thus, it can be advantageously achieved that the person buying the shoe

Knows characteristics and thus wrong purchases are avoided.

To simulate a shoe, the shoe simulation device has a

Shoe bottom, which in turn has a plurality of support portions, wherein the support portions individually in height and at least one physical

Property are controllable. By changing the height of each

Pad sections, the profile of the shoe floor is individually adjustable. On the basis of the pressure distribution can be determined, for example, which cuts of the shoe bottom are more heavily loaded by the person, so that a lower height is set for these sections. The support sections are provided so that the mechanical properties for each of the support sections are individually and independently adjustable. In this way, it is possible to simulate a shoe bottom which has comparable mechanical properties to the manufactured shoe.

The shoe simulation device may alternatively comprise a shoe insert which, when used as intended, is placed in a shoe of a certain type and which has a plurality of adjustable support sections. In this way, a customized shoe insert for a particular shoe can be produced. With an individually adapted shoe insert as part of a shoe, an individually adapted shoe can be realized. The controllable mechanical properties of the support sections are at the shoe bottom and at the shoe insert hardness, flexibility and elasticity. Particularly preferred is the control of hardness.

An embodiment of the method is characterized in that it has an additional assessment step in which the person is assessed whether the locally set values of the shoe simulation device correspond to the personal optimum or desire. If the desired position is not present due to the current set values for the height and / or the mechanical properties of the support sections, a further adjustment step is carried out with changed set values. Whether the settings correspond to the personal optimum, the person and / or a third party,

For example, an employee of the store, enter at the computer unit by means of a control unit. Preferably, it can be a mobile

Use input device which is connected via radio to the computer unit. The calculation of new changed values for the height and / or the mechanical properties is carried out by means of the computer unit, wherein for in

Substantially all values that have to be newly set are calculated that replace the existing set values. Preferably, preset parameters can be selected by means of which the person can choose between an overall softer or harder setting of the support sections. The

Selection may preferably be performed by the input device.

The shoe simulation device is preferably designed so that the person uses it in the setting step, i. burdened the shoe bottom. The advantage of making the adjustment step in the loaded shoe bottom is that the person perceives the change immediately and can better classify whether a change takes place in the desired direction.

Fabrication, measurement and assessment are significantly improved if the data / measurement data of a known optimal shoe are detected and these data are compared and utilized with the data measured by one of the above methods. In one embodiment of the method, an optimization step is carried out in which the height and / or the at least one mechanical property of the

Pad sections are each set locally by means of an input device. In this way, the person or a third party, for example one

Staff of the store, allows using an input device to make local adjustment of the values of the individual support sections and thus to modify the shoe floor individual. The input device may be a mobile terminal with a program application that communicates with the data

Replacing computer unit via radio. Also in the optimization step, the shoe simulation device may be used, i. the shoe floor may be loaded or not used, i. be relieved of the thrust load. The adjustable local

Changing the properties of the support sections is particularly advantageous for persons in whom a local change of the height profile and / or the mechanical properties is required for orthopedic or medical reasons. This may be, for example, in people with neurological disorders, e.g. in diabetes, be beneficial to put certain stimuli on the sole of the foot to improve their own perception of body movement (proprioception).

Preferably, in the method at least one holding means is used, which is provided in the simulation device for the foot of the person on the

To fix shoe bottom, wherein this is changed in its length to be adapted to the anatomy of each person. Thus, in addition to the shoe bottom or the shoe insert, the shoe superstructure can be simulated by the shoe simulation device, so that the person perceives the simulated shoe as a coherent unit. The exact design of the retaining means may vary depending on the type of shoe. Preferably, at least one of the holding means has a contraction unit whose length can be set by means of the computer unit, the input device and / or manually to a desired value. In this way, the length of the respective holding means can be selectively controlled and specifically recorded for the respective person. The control of the length of the contraction unit by means of the input device has the advantage that the person can control the length of the holding means specifically, and preferably when it uses the shoe simulation device, so loaded the drawer or the shoe insert. This makes it possible for the person to immediately experience what effect the change in the lengths of individual holding means has. In particular, individually optimized settings can be found in this way in combination with the local change of the values for the height and / or the mechanical properties of the support sections in order to meet the desire of the person.

Advantageously, an orthopedic effect can be achieved by selective adjustment of the lengths of the holding means.

An embodiment of the method is characterized in that the values for the height and / or the at least one which the person regards as optimal

mechanical property of the support portions and / or the length of the holding means are stored in a memory unit. In this way, the optimal settings for a person can be recorded and reproduced anywhere at any time. For example, a shoe simulation device located elsewhere can be controlled with the stored values, so that the adjustment can be experienced by a person at another location. In addition, the person can perceive the simulated shoe at a later time, for example, if the person later decides to make a purchase or a purchase decision.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the stored values are used as data for the production of customized shoes. By means of the data stored as values for height and / or the at least one mechanical property of the support sections and / or the length of the holding means, it is possible to produce the shoe regarded as optimal at another location. There is no difference between the produced shoe and the simulated shoe on manufacturing tolerances. Advantageously, this makes it possible to avoid erroneous purchases.

Preferably, in the underlying method in the context of

Measuring step additionally the spatial form of the foot of the person by means of

determined at least one scanning device. By using a

Scanning device gives you additional information that is immediately available for the

Determination of the heights of the support sections, respectively for the profile of the

Shoe bottom or shoe insert, are usable. As scanning devices Commercially available 3D scanners can be used. Preferably, the shape of the foot is measured when it is free in the room, so it is not loaded.

In a preferred embodiment of the method, when using the shoe simulation device, the person is visually suggested by means of a display unit to wear a shoe having an outer shape (design, color, symbolism) that the person has selected or selected. As a display unit, a screen can be used, which the person looks at and in which a specific shoe is displayed at the location of the feet. Preferably, the display unit is a virtual reality glasses, in which the shoes are displayed in the place where the person's feet are located. In this way the immersion, i. the perception of the simulated environment as a reality, improved and one

Perception of the simulated shoe achieved as a real shoe. Preferably, an outer appearance of the shoe can be displayed, which the customer has designed himself or designs, so that also with respect to the outer shape of a

Individualization is feasible and perceptible.

The invention also relates to a system for simulating a shoe in the

Production of a custom shoe adapted to a person comprising

- A pressure distribution measuring device, which is provided for a

To determine pressure distribution of at least one sole of the person's foot,

- A computer unit, which is intended to evaluate the specific pressure distribution, and

- A shoe simulation device having a shoe bottom or a shoe insert with a plurality of support sections whose height and / or at least one mechanical property based on the specific pressure distribution by means of the computer unit are each individually controllable.

Such a system may be used for the one described above

Implement method and thus used in the manufacture of a custom-tailored to a person shoe. The system has

Components that have a small footprint, so that this system is advantageously used in shops. Preferably, the pressure distribution measuring device of the system is a pressure measuring plate, a pressure measuring foil or a sensitive insole. Preference is given to a pressure measuring plate, since this has a spatial resolution and pressure sensitivity, which makes it possible to determine the pressure distribution of the sole of the foot both statically, ie while standing, as well as dynamically, ie when walking or running. Particularly preferred are capacitive pressure measuring plates.

An embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system comprises at least one scanning device, which is intended to determine the spatial shape of the foot. By using scanning systems, the shape of the foot can be easily determined. The way this way

The data obtained can be used directly to determine the values for the heights of the support sections, or for the profile of the shoe floor.

Preferably, the system comprises an input device which is provided for the height and / or at least one mechanical property of

To set up sections of work depending on location. In this way, the values can be changed and optimized locally by the person or a third party. In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the input device is provided for

Parameter selection to make the setting step.

In one embodiment of the invention, the system includes a display unit intended to give the user the impression of wearing a shoe of a particular type or design. The design may preferably be selected by the person, so that also with respect to the exterior

Design a desired execution of the shoe is simulated.

Preferably, the person can design the external appearance himself.

The system preferably has a movably mounted shoe simulation device. This makes it possible that the shoe simulation device is tracked at a natural walking motion or weight shift at the corresponding foot. Advantageously, such a realistic feeling is generated.

Particularly preferably, the simulation device is designed to be mobile, so that the person can walk around or walk around with it. In this case it is preferred that the shoe simulation device is connected by radio to the computer unit.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the shoe simulation device is separable from the system, while maintaining the adjusted values for the height and / or the at least one mechanical property. This is particularly preferred when the shoe simulation device has a shoe insert. In this case, the person is thus enabled to have a shoe insert with optimally adjusted values for the height and / or the at least one mechanical

Property can continue to use. This is particularly advantageous if the shoe insert is inserted in the setting in a shoe, which the person then wants to continue to use.

The invention also relates to a shoe simulation device intended to receive a foot of a person. The shoe simulation device has a shoe bottom or a shoe insert, which / a variety of

Pad portions whose height and / or at least one mechanical property are individually controllable. The support sections can have any basic shape. In one embodiment, the individual form

In an alternative embodiment, the support sections have ergonomically adapted shapes that simulate individual foot zones, for example an elliptical shape for the verse area or a kidney shape for the ball. This allows a better adaptation of the values for the mechanical properties of the support sections to the respective function.

Preferably, the shoe simulation device has at least one holding means, which is adjustable in length and is intended to include the foot of the person and to fix on the shoe bottom. This makes it possible in particular to simulate the superstructure of the shoe and make it perceptible to the person. In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one holding means in each case has at least one contraction element whose length is determined by means of a Computing unit and / or by an input device and / or manually adjustable.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the support sections of the shoe simulation device each have sensors which are intended to determine a force which is exerted on the respective support section. In this way, it is possible to use the shoe simulation device itself as a sensor unit, with which one can check the setting of the values of the height and / or the mechanical properties and / or the length of the holding means. For example, load peaks of a particular support section can be identified by being one against the surrounding ones

Overlay sections measure excessive force. Thus, automatic monitoring of the set values can already be carried out during the simulation step, the assessment step and / or the optimization step.

Figure 1 illustrates a system for simulating a shoe usable for generating data for the manufacture of custom shoes or shoe inserts. The system includes a Pressure distribution measuring device 6, which is intended to determine a pressure distribution of at least one sole of the person, wherein

Pressure distribution measuring device 6 is a pressure measuring plate, a pressure measuring film or a sensitive insole. The measured pressure measurement distribution is evaluated by means of a computer unit 7. In addition, the system has a

Shoe simulation device 1, which is intended to simulate a shoe. For this, the shoe simulation device 1 according to FIG. 2 has a shoe bottom 2 or a shoe insert with a plurality of support sections 3 whose height H and / or at least one mechanical property can be individually controlled on the basis of the determined pressure distribution by means of the computer unit 7.

For determining the spatial shape of at least one foot of the person, the system preferably has two scanning devices 10 and 11. This allows the profile of the shoe bottom 2, or can be the heights of the individual support sections 3, determine directly. Preferably, optical 3D scanners are used for this purpose. The scanning devices 10 and 11 are connected for data exchange with the computer unit via cable or radio.

The system also has an input device 8, which is provided for setting the height and / or at least one mechanical property of the support sections 3 in each case depending on location. That way the person can do the

Optimize settings of the simulation device 1 locally to realize a desired properties.

In addition, the system has a display unit 12, which is intended to give the impression to the person that he wears a particular shoe. Preferably, this is a virtual reality glasses 12, which carries the person in the use of the simulation device 1 and gives the impression that the person wears a particular shoe. The displayed shoe may be a shoe of a certain type or design. In particular, a shoe may be displayed which the person himself has selected or designed. In this way, the external appearance of the shoe can be simulated and individualized. The computer unit 7 has a memory unit 9, which is provided for storing the set values for the height and / or the at least one mechanical property of the support sections 3 and / or the length of a holding means 4. In particular, the values regarded by the person as optimal or as desired are stored. These values can then be used to reproduce a specific, in particular desired, setting.

In particular, the values stored as optimal are used as data for the production of a customized shoe, wherein the manufactured shoe has the same characteristics as that of the

Simulation device 1 simulated shoe.

In an embodiment of the invention, not shown, the

Shoe simulation devices 1 movably mounted. Preferably, the

Mobile simulation device so that the person can walk around or walk around with this.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of the shoe simulation device 1 in the used, i. loaded condition, the person standing on the shoe bottom 2. The values for the height H of the individual support sections 3 are set so that the height profile of the shoe bottom 2 corresponds to the spatial shape of the sole of the foot. The different texture of the individual support sections 3 indicates that the support elements 3 each have different mechanical properties. For example, the outer support portions 3 have a lower elasticity to give the foot under load better grip.

The shoe simulation device 1 has at least one holding means 4, which is intended to encompass the foot of the person and to fix it on the shoe bottom 2. The holding means is for example a flat band, which is fastened to the end points on the shoe bottom 2. The length of the illustrated holding means 4 is variable by means of a contraction element 5. The length is adjusted by means of a computer unit 7 and / or by an input device 8 or manually. The adjustment of the length can be made by the person or a third party. The length of the contraction unit 5 of a simulated shoe becomes preferably stored in the computer unit 7, so that the length can be reproduced at a different location at a different time.

In addition, the support sections 3 each have sensors 13, which are for

provided are a force exerted on the respective support section 3 to measure. Thus, the shoe simulation device 1 has a

Sensor unit, which makes it possible to directly check the set values in the loaded condition. Unwanted force peaks, respectively pressure peaks, can thus advantageously be registered directly.

The support sections 3 of the shoe bottom 2 of the shoe simulation device 1 have an arbitrary shape. FIG. 3 a shows an embodiment in which the individual support sections 3 form a grid in which all the support sections 3 have the same quadrangular basic shape. The foot of the person is doing as

shown dashed line. Due to the different texture of the individual

Pad sections 3 is shown schematically that the individual

Pad sections have different mechanical properties that are independent of each other adjustable. The outer support sections 3 have a lower elasticity to support the foot. In Fig. 3b, an alternative embodiment is shown, in which the support sections 3 have ergonomically adapted shapes that simulate individual foot zones. For example, the support sections 3 have an elliptical shape in the verse region and a kidney shape in the ball region. This allows a better adaptation of the values for the

achieve mechanical properties of the support sections 3 to the respective function.

For the method according to the invention, a measuring surface or measuring plate is furthermore used which has a multiplicity of sensors arranged close to one another in a grid. The sensor surfaces or sensor surface sections lie in matrix form in a surface in the x and y directions. If this measuring surface of a shoe with its bottom ie with its tread (shoe sole) touched, a variety of pressure sensors are touched and exposed to a more or less strong pressure. Here, each pressure sensor transforms the physical quantity of pressure into an electrical quantity (voltage). These electrical values / signals become captured and stored by a computer. In this case, a computer program displays the recorded values graphically and in color, so that it can be recognized which points of the running surface of the shoe exert a stronger and which weaker pressure on the measuring surface.

Both when a user stands with his shoe or his shoes on the measuring surface as well as while running or running on the measuring surface valuable measurement results in the form of graphic images and films are created, which to the o. Effects and benefits.
